Foothills: The Unlinked Heritage of Snowboarding

The people of Petran, Turkey, have been snowboarding for roughly 300 years. It’s not snowboarding as we know it, but you’ll recognize it. In this film by WRKSHRT, we follow Alex Yoder and Nick Russell into Turkey’s Kaçkar Mountains on a quest to unearth the unlinked heritage of snowboarding and have some fun in the process.

Although I've got nothing but respect for what Travis and buddies do but for me these are the movies like this one that make snowboarding a Culture, they will never raise hype like The art of fly or 4th phase, but they are what I love snowboarding for.

[@joeyshondell8440]

this is about the old town and its old snowboard

[@omniadventure8483]

Turkey looks amazing for snowboarding - Thanks for opening our minds to the possibilities

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

As long as you don't mind earning your descents with hard walking.

[@LuisLara-fn1hj]

Honestly in a day and age where snowboarding videos are all so repetitive and nothing but brand endorsement. This video can easily be my new favorite. I cried watching the raw emotion you guys captured and exactly why snowboarding is my passion!!! 1440 are neat to watch and all but there is nothing like a good powder turn!!! Thank you SO much for creating this. I pray those little ones were so inspired by watching you guys jump off roofs they go to be the next Nicolas Muller!!

[@TheTravelVlogger]

What a truly awesome experience! Perfect mix of snowboard film meets National Geographic documentary.

I am so thankful I stumbled upon this just days after being published on youtube it is a gem of a find! The video and the culture cache tucked away in the foothills of turkey.

[@RickAdair]

This makes me smile and that is perfect. Thanks +Nick Russell and +Alex Yoder!

[@marknash6307]

Great film guys. If your interested in other off grid places, look up Toplita, Romania. There is a national park just to the north, Calaman, I think that's how it's spelt. No lifts, no fences just massive open hills. Lots of snow, still snow fields in the summer. I would love to board it.

[@powrunnr]

Great documentary and story telling. Awesome work guys!

[@antonsmith132]

I love this video it's so chill and just really captures the magic of snowboarding to me. I need to build one of these and rip it this season!

[@user-sh6gk1ju7x]

[@tlt8919]

Fantastic, so cool to learn about the history! But whats the significance of the stick they hold behind when using the board?

[@samuelleblanc3441]

Okay you convinced me! Lets go off the beaten path...lets go turkey!
